TO PAULINE KUENZ, OF JACKSON,

RADIATOR-CORE.

Application filed October 1 1-, 1918.

To uZZ whom, it may concern Be it known that I, Iinsnrn I-loLLr, a subjectof Austria, residing at loledo, in the county of Lucas and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Radiator-Cores, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to new and useful improvements in radiator cores.

The primary objects of this invention are to provide a radiator core which is more eitficient and reliable in operation, less expensive in manufacture and more durable in use than radiator cores now in use and which provides, at the same time, an increased water cooling surface.

With the foregoing and other objects in view that will appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same consists in the novel features 01' construction, combination and arrangement of parts illustrated in the drawings and more particularly pointed out in the appended claim.

In the accompanying drawings Figure l is a fragmentary front elevation of a radiator core constructed in accordance with my invention.

Fig. 2 is a top plan view of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a vertical transverse fragmentary section, taken on the plane indicated by the dotted lines 3-3 of Fig. 2 with the parts represented on an enlarged scale and Fig. 4 is a vertical transverse section taken on the plane indicated by the dotted lines i-d of l ieierring to the drawings for a more particular description of the invention and which drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are therefore not drawn to scale, it will be seen that my improved radiator core comprises a plurality of vertical sections A and B.

The core sections A consist, each, of two corresponding oppositely disposed metal strips 1 and 2, respectively, which combine to form a plurality ofhorizontal substantially triangular shaped vertically spaced air conduits or pipes C formed between their side walls a and 5, adjacent their lower corners c, with the horizontal longitudinally disposed concavo-convex depressed portions 3 which, form or constitute cooling pockets or recesses.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 8, 1921.

Serial No. 257,959.

The core sections 13, which alternate with the core sections A, are also each formed of a pair of vertical oppositely disposed metal strips stand 5, which combine to form the horizontal substantially triangular shaped air conduits or pipes D, provided between their side walls (Z and 6, near the upper corners of said air conduits or pipes, with the horizontal longitudinally disposed substantially concavo-convex depressions 6, which also constitute water cooling pockets or recesses.

Particular attention is invited to the fact that while the alternating core sections A and B are identical in construction, the latter are inverted or reversed with respect to the former.

The side walls of the core sections vare spaced apart to form the continuous Water passages '7, while the core sections are held against relative displacement and the uni :formity oi? the water passages maintained by soldering the metal strips forming the core sections together, at the front and back, as at-S and 9. The metal strips forming the individual core sections A and B are also soldered together at their top and bottom edges 11 and 12.

It is to be understood that I have only shown a portion of the radiator core, since further illustration would be merely repetition or the parts disclosed.

From the foregoing description taken in connection with the drawings, it is thought that the construction, operation and advantages of this invention will be readily. understood without requiring a more extended explanation.

Various changes in the form, proportions and minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the principles and sacrificing any of the advantages of this invention as defined in the appended claim.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A radiator core comprising a plurality of vertical core sections arranged alternately in inverted order, each core section being composed of two individual corresponding metal strips arranged in oppositely disposed relation and combining to form horizontal vertically spaced air conduits or pipes of substantially triangular form in cross section, the core sections being spaced apart to form vertical Water passages and secured together at their front and back edges by soldering, the metal strips forming the individual core 7 sections being soldered together at their top and bottom edges and provided at suitable points with horizontal depressed portions which extend throughout the spaced por- 10 tions of the core sections and provide Water cooling pockets or recesses.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
